Antarctica

Hi 4/5A,

While I'm away, I am setting you the challenge to investigate issues surrounding tourism in Antarctica.

You will present your findings as a 2 double page brochure (a total of 4 pages) in your SOSE book.

Begin by reading through The Big Fridge article on Touring Antarctica

Check out the following websites

Make sure your brochure includes information on:

• the best time to travel
• how to get there
• accommodation
• clothing
• cost
• things to do
• guidelines for tourists
  • tourist safety
  • protection of the fragile Antarctic environment
• other information you find interesting.

Have fun! I'm looking forward to find out about travelling to Antarctica through your research, brochure and recommendations.
